“We’ve been the lucky owners of Stanley, the Milo model from Vanlife Conversions, for just over four years. We use the van to travel in the UK, but mainly in Europe where we travel off-grid for three months in the year. Everything we hoped for when buying the van - design, quality of build, durability and ongoing support from Vanlife Conversions - has been delivered as promised. Our experience as customers of Vanlife Conversions has been positive throughout. From the very start, Oli and Emily engaged fully with us over the design and kept us fully up to date with progress during the build programme. When discussing our requirements and considering various options we got good sensible and practical advice from them both. We were delighted when we first picked up Stanley and impressed with the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail. Four years later Stanley is in great condition despite extensive use, including travelling with a lab.” — Neil Thomason
“It’s been 18 months since we picked up our campervan conversion, and we’ve known the VanLife team for a couple of years now. From day one, we felt complete confidence in both the team and the quality of their work. The personal service has been outstanding, and everything was delivered exactly as discussed. Even after the conversion, the support hasn’t stopped — the team have always been on hand with helpful tips and advice whenever I’ve needed guidance on things I wasn’t quite confident with, which has been hugely appreciated. Thanks to VanLife, we’ve enjoyed incredible adventures across Northern Spain, France, the Alps, Ireland, and plenty of weekends closer to home. It’s honestly the best investment we’ve ever made, and we’re so grateful to the VanLife team for making it all possible.” — Tom Denman
“It was only by chance that I stumbled across Vanlife Conversions at an NEC exhibition and they were offering everything I wanted. Since then I've not looked back. I love the layout, the superior quality craftsmanship and the behind the scenes stuff too. I would not hesitate to recommend VLC to anyone else. In fact I've told many people already! Thanks to the whole team for everything.” — Sue Clough
“When “Evan” came up for sale we made an enquiry via email…. Literally 30 seconds later Oli called and we arranged a viewing at Vanlife Conversions. The visit went really well and every detail of the van was explained in easy to understand language. We agreed to buy Evan and literally drove home to Scotland the same day. When buying from Vanlife Conversions your buying access to a complete service and back up that money simply cant buy… any query we’ve had has been dealt with promptly with no fuss regardless of time of day! We simply cant recommend them enough!! Would also recommend the webinars that Oli does regularly, they contain a lot of valuable info! The biggest compliment we can give is that we feel we have known Oli & the team forever such is their customer care and overall service… highly recomended!!” — Alan Frame

“We are now in our third year of owning our stunning conversion Doris, built by Oli and Emily and their amazing team. We have spent many happy times travelling around the UK with more trips planned for this year. Every time we step into her we are in awe of the craftmanship and comfort. Our smaller home from home. Our happy place Oli continues to offer ongoing support should we need it at anytime. As from right from the beginning of the build, no question is too small. Vanlife Conversions Ltd deserves more than 5 stars!” — David Oxley

Their aftercare support and advice has also been superb. Vanlife have brought our dream to life, and we could not recommend their team highly enough.” — Ricky Bailey
“Just picked up our Rudi conversion from Vanlife on a Citroen Relay van. We are absolutely delighted with it. The quality of workmanship is exceptional and we particularly valued the weekly updates with photos keeping us fully informed with the progress. It was never too much trouble for the team to make minor adaptations or modifications. Oli is always on hand for after sales support and advice so you can travel with confidence. Emily and Oli were a pleasure to work with and if you are looking for unique high quality conversion we cannot recommend them enough.” — Ed Woodhouse
